Biden Says Voters "Don't Deserve" To Know If He Will Pack The Court, Damaging Our Country

Average BiteMe voter likely has no idea what that means.

Off topic, coming home from the gym, get behind some CRV or such.  Multiple stickers.  "Clinton-Kaine" and "Resist" were in great shape, like they were being preserved as an icon?

No, did not run her off the road, but did pass rather rudely.

I wonder if SJW types just assume "Court Packing" is a new LGBTQXYZ activity.   :crazy:

I love how the dems think “court packing” is filling vacancies in the lower courts  :rofl:

Of course they don’t really think that. They just know they can get their followers to believe it.

Irony of all ironies:  If they really believe Trump is "packing" the lower  federal courts, maybe they need to review why he has that ability? 

Obama left office with 180 unfilled federal judge vacancies.  They handed that list of vacancies to Trump to fill.  If they were that worried about getting "their" judges in those vacancies, then they dropped the ball.

By "they" I mean Obama.

You do know because the Republicans controlled the senate they purposely delayed stuff right?

FYI I think packing courts is stupid

You do know the Dems controlled the House and Senate during the first two years of the Obama Administration, and the only thing they seemed to care about was shoving Obamacare down our throats.

Do you also know the Dems controlled the Senate from 2007 until 2015?  If my math is correct, that's 8 years the Dems had all the power in the Senate they needed to push through judges.  In fact, Harry Reid implemented the "nuclear option" to do just that -- changed the rules so only 50 votes were needed to stop filibusters and vote for federal judge nominations.

If the Republicans blocked Obama's nominations, maybe there are a few reasons.  One would be how the Dems ran roughshod over the GOP in Congress shoving ACA through without a single Republican voting for it.  Maybe Reid changing the rules to bypass GOP members of the Senate pissed them off, taking full control of a confirmation process that was reserved for the Senate, not just the majority.

Once the Republicans gained the majority in BOTH chambers of Congress, it was viewed as a mandate by the people to rein in Obama's out-of-control Leftwing/Progressive policies.  One way to do that was to slow his roll on lifetime appointments to the federal bench.  If anyone was trying to pack the courts with activist judges, it was always the Democrats.  Hell, we have only to look at the 9th Circus, and the record number of times their decisions have been reversed by the Supreme Court, to know that's a true statement.

"Elections have consequences".  -- Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, etc.

BTW, I've seen the number 105 floating around versus 128 or 180 court vacancies given to Trump.  Since he's on track to confirm over 300 by election day, that detail is a bit superfluous.

The democrats must think their voters are fucken idiots if they believe that they’re fooling anybody by trying to confuse packing the Supreme Court with confirming judges to the lower courts  :rofl:

Low-information voters are out there.  They only know what the big media conglomerates feed them.

Yep, there are people out there ready to vote against Trump.  They don't even need another reason.  He's a racist, fascist, homophobic, sexist, mysogynistic, rapist, military-hating, Hitler-loving White Supremacist.  Evidence?  The news wouldn't lie about that, would they?
